What disqualifies someone from receiving a FOID card?

Having a valid driver's license
Being under the age of 18
A conviction of a felony
Non-residency in Illinois

The correct answer is: A conviction of a felony

A valid driver's license does not disqualify someone from receiving a FOID (Firearm Owner's Identification) card. Being under the age of 18 also does not automatically disqualify someone, as minors can receive a FOID card with consent from a parent or guardian. Non-residency in Illinois is also not a disqualification but may affect the processing of a FOID card. However, a conviction of a felony is a disqualification for receiving a FOID card. This is because individuals who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing firearms in accordance with federal law. Therefore, those who have a felony conviction will not be granted a FOID card.
